  • I have a broad niche that I have narrowed down. Started working it full time 3 weeks ago and have 7 different niches under the broad one, but I was laid off from my job and so I had a fire under my _____ and spent about 15 hours a day online. It paid off.

    • I know what you mean! Isn't it amazing that when the stakes are down we find ourselves digging deep inside us and end up doing some very INCREDIBLE things! I have to agree, congrats!
  • major congrats!
  • What do you use as guidance when adding to your niche? How broad of a range is too broad? One of the main concerns I may add too much or get off of the path I need to be on, but in the same sometimes I think that is the thing that is holding me back?

    • I build Ebay and Amazon affiliate store-style sites so I'll enter as many as 10 new niches a week.

      All of them are low-traffic/low-competition sites though and many don't have any possibility of being HUGE income earners. My goal is $1-per-day/per-site. If it will generate that much income with little work other than putting it up, one or two social bookmarking blasts, and a distributing an article or two then it's a good enough mini-niche for me.

  • wow, 10/week and 3 per year! such huge differences. i wish you both well.
  • Good question llfleming

    It's one I've contemplated and I think you simply have to test a few. My goal is 2-3 per week, depending on if I'm building sites or direct linking (using PPC that is).

    I think you have to test a few niches, and if/when you find one that's profitable, scale it out by broadening other aspects of it like what it sounds like Robin has done.

      I don't know why I am replying because you basically just said it. Testing niches is way better than picking one niche unless you know for a fact that you will profit in it.
  • To those with multiple niches, what is the most efficient way to host all the domains?
    I bought the middle Hostgator package 'unlimited domains' but have heard this isn't actually true and only allows one main domain?

      It just means you have one domain you run off of (the only you signed up with). You can add as many sub domains as you want as long as you don't exceed the bndwth, and when I test new niches I always use a free wordpress or blogger account, then I will do a few posts and maybe ad some product reviews in that niche and write 20-30 articles each niche/blog and see which ones are effecient.
  • Hmm..didn't know that about Hostgator, never hosted with them. I've got probably over a dozen hosting accounts (don't ask!) and I've found some good and cheap deals over at webhostingtalk.com forum.

    Just a thought.

    Hostgator is good I hear but most people haven't heard of many others.
  • It is totally astonishing to sit and watch the many various techniques and marketing methods for each niche and/or person. I do not see how some of you keep up with all that you do. You must have a truly amazing system for monitoring your goals.
  • I say find a niche... Conquer it, then move on...

    • How many niches can you manage? Get into every niche that is profitable and you can manage too - that should be all you need!
  • I enter about 5-10 new niches per month, but every business model is
    different.
